Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that Jeff Samardzija is available out of the bullpen for Monday's Game 3 of the NLDS.

He also said that Samardzija could even pinch-run if needed. The righty pitched just two days ago in Game 2, but he threw only 47 pitches in allowing four runs over two innings. It's unlikely that "Shark" will pitch Monday unless the Giants get into a desperate extra-innings situation. Oct 10 - 6:36 PM

Jeff Samardzija yielded six hits, four runs and one walk in two innings of work Saturday in the Giants’ loss to the Cubs in Game 2 of the NLDS.

He finished with one strikeout. It just wasn’t The Shark’s night. The former Cub allowed eight of the first 12 men to reach including the first four hitters he faced in the second inning. Kyle Hendricks plated two runs with a bases-loaded single while Kris Bryant added to Samardzija’s misery with another RBI single later in the frame. Saturday marked the shortest start of Samardzija’s career. The Giants’ streak of winning the World Series every two years is now in serious jeopardy. Madison Bumgarner will try to right the ship Monday when the series moves to San Francisco for Game 3. Oct 8 - 11:29 PM

Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced Friday that Jeff Samardzija will start Game 2 of the NLDS against the Cubs.

That means that Madison Bumgarner will get the ball in Game 3 and Matt Moore will take the ball in Game 4 for the Giants. Samardzija pitched very well down the stretch, overall compiling a 3.81 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 167/54 K/BB ratio over 203 1/3 innings in his first season with the Giants. Oct 7 - 7:09 PM

Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced Thursday that Jeff Samardzija would be available out of the bullpen over the weekend.

Samardzija made his final start of the regular season on Wednesday, but Bochy won't be afraid to pull out all of the stops to secure a wild card berth. Fantasy owners in leagues that utilize daily lineups may want to leave him active over the weekend. Sep 29 - 7:51 PM
